2S46. Addressed Government of India repeated to H.M.
Jlinister at Kabul, 129.
For Hcnnessy from Joyce. Following is extract from
Prime Minister's" speech in House of Commons on 3rd October.
Begins . "The reason for which this country entered the
war has been frequently proclaimed.. It was to put an end
to the successive acts of German aggression which menaced
the freedom and the very security of all the nations of
Europe. To attempt - as German propaganda does - to saddle
us with the responsibility for continuing the war because
we are not prepared to abandon the struggle before this
purpose is achieved, is only another instance of German
war" technique. The responsibility for the war rests upon
those who have conceived and carried out this policy of
successive aggression, and it can neither be evaded nor
excused.”
"Ho mere assurances from the present German Government
could be accepted by us. For that Government have too
often proved in the past that their undertakings are worthless
when it suits then that they should be broken. If, therefore,
proposals are made, we shall certainly examine then and we
shell test them in the light of what I have just said.
Nobody desires the war to continue for an unnecessexy day,
but the overwhelming mass of opinion in this country, and
I am satisfied also in France, is determined to secure that
the rule of violence shall cease, and that the word of
Governments, once pledged, must henceforth be kepto" Ends .
